Abstract

Cohesion in simultaneous interpreting is the semantic relation between two or more elements in an interpreted text on the grammatical, lexical and phonological levels. It is an influential factor in SI for the audience’s comprehension and gratification. This thesis attempts to apply cohesion theory in simultaneous interpreting by analyzing the features of SI text. During the whole communicative process of SI, a text makes sense to the audience only when it is appropriately connected and interpreted with the help of different types of cohesion, such as reference, substitution, ellipsis, conjunction lexical cohesion and phonological cohesion.
